Dear Mr. Hampton:
I hope you are well. I am writing to be considered for an overseas assignment with Talbot Thingamajig, Inc. Specifically, I am requesting to be assigned to help open a branch of the company in Italy. I chose to study Italy in my training course because Italy is a major economic and political force in Europe. It makes good sense to understand such an important country. I also chose to study Italy because they are an important ally for the United States. It’s very important to know who your allies are.
Over the course of the next 7 ½ weeks, I expect to learn about Italian culture, food, business etiquette and some important phrases in Italian. Having this knowledge will help me more easily adjust to Italian culture and develop mutually beneficial relationships with Italian businessmen more quickly. I have no doubt that by the end of this course I will be a major asset to your Italian branch office.
Lastly, I think I would be a great addition to this team because I am highly motivated and am a team player. My grades in school reflect that I am a self-starter and that I can achieve. I also enjoy working in teams. My favorite experience in school has been playing on the basketball team. There is something quite special about working together toward a common goal. The brotherly feeling that is created among my teammates is unique and unforgettable. These two traits, motivation and the ability to work on a team, would be indispensible for your work in Italy.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,
Elizabeth Jungling
